Day 1- Sitting Around

     I have been part of a rubber tire for what seems like forever. I have been sitting in this yard for what seems like forever. I was first born when they mixed the latex, peroxide, sulfur and bisphenol. After they mixed, I was molded, tested and shipped to a mechanic. I used to be on a cop car, hitting speeds over 100 miles per hour. It was an exciting time, but now I am stuck in this recycle yard waiting for someone to pick me up and take me to be used again. I do not think it will happen anytime soon. I am accompanied by my other fellow tires. We are a pretty awesome bunch. They want also want to become something new. My pal, Jimmy, wants to become part of a athletic turf. Bob, next to me, wants to become part of asphalt. He thinks it will be awesome. I do not know what I want to be made into. I will leave it up to the person who takes me.
